Sweden's Turbulent Election Year

07/24/2018

Concerns over mass immigration and rampant crime are redefining the political landscape. For the first time in more than a hundred years, the Social Democrats may be dethroned as the country's largest political party.

Alternative for Sweden (AfS) argue that the policies of the Sweden Democrats are no longer sufficient to deal with Sweden's problems with violent crime and public gang shootings. The AfS want to end immigration completely and to start repatriating hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, criminal aliens and immigrants who burden Swedish society in one way or another. By Swedish standards, this constitutes a political earthquake.
